Raspberry Smoothie Recipes and Nutrition

Raspberries are my favorite berry, and if my family doesn’t eat them all up first, I love to use them in spring and summer green smoothie recipes.

They are particularly delicious blended with bananas, mangoes and other berries.

Raspberries can be red, black, purple and golden, but regardless of color, they are delicious and nutritious. Raspberries are generally tart, but can be slightly sweet as well. They are a versatile fruit, and it is nearly impossible to go to the grocery store without finding foods, drinks or desserts that are infused with raspberries.

Raspberries grow in temperate regions. They are sometimes considered an invasive species, and can take over gardens if not properly attended. Raspberries are harvested in North America in the summer and fall months.
